Questions.

Common questions about the HTML to Image API.

Read the docs →

What does the HTML to Image API do?

HTML to Image converts HTML code into high-quality images with customizable dimensions and formats including PNG, JPEG, and WebP.

How do I authenticate HTML to Image API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the HTML to Image API cost?

Each call spends 20 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the HTML to Image API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the HTML to Image API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the HTML to Image API use?

POST over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — POST /v1/htmltoimage

Sent as JSON in the request body. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`html`Required	string	`<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>`	HTML code to convert length 0-500000

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`width`OptionalPremium	integer	`1280`	Image width in pixels default 1280 · range 100-3840
`height`OptionalPremium	integer	`800`	Image height in pixels default 800 · range 100-2160
`format`OptionalPremium	string	`png`	Output image format `pngjpegjpgwebp` default png

Example request

curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/htmltoimage" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"html":"<html><head><style>body { font-family: Arial; padding: 20px; } h1 { color: #333; }</style></head><body><h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is a sample HTML document converted to an image.</p></body></html>","width":800,"height":600,"format":"png"}'

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.
`content-type`Required	POST body	`application/json`

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — POST /v1/htmltoimage

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "imageName": "79c8416d-8096-4524-adea-a948eb69a21e.png",
    "format": ".png",
    "downloadURL": "https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIData/htmltoimage/79c8416d-8096-4524-adea-a948eb69a21e.png?GoogleAccessId=635500398038-compute%40developer.gserviceaccount.com&Expires=1766010253&Signature=JEtYi%2BDdd0thnSSDWLXWCAbxVJAt6gu8khy9B0UCZSM0uXYrHLv%2F07Ht97jN%2B%2BvzQg0yP0PVUzqwrfkoC4pNEUXLzdP743iCmBEsaQqtstK5OkZR0a%2F%2FSt6UmyxQ4eWCxS7DR2pY3yBYvslzzjlBgF9ASfymgzztwvpowPR7QttziwLMzJOX5aVgstMDfEuOthcCPwRsv8lVShYAQGBYk2ZVCxIQ8HrRi38VQlEG30w%2Fgh2Lo7Xd4%2FaAuvFyG3atL4PkScoemYeHNAws4EcdxDFY69jXpffs6BHrc2OQ7U9rCC7s6p1B%2BUT7ODFFheq432OXb%2BI2p3wfOGJB4dtoQQ%3D%3D",
    "expires": 1766010253596,
    "htmlLength": 197,
    "dimensions": {
      "width": 800,
      "height": 600
    }
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`imageName`	string	`"79c8416d-8096-4524-adea-a948eb69a21e.png"`	Unique identifier for generated image file
`format`	string	`".png"`	Output image format with file extension included
`downloadURL`	string	`"https://storage.googleapis.com/apiverve/APIData/htmltoimage/79c8416d-8096-4524-adea-a948eb69a21e.png?GoogleAccessId=635500398038-compute%40…`	Direct URL to download generated image file
`expires`	number	`1766010253596`	Unix timestamp when download link expires
`htmlLength`	number	`197`	Character count of input HTML content
`dimensions`	object	`{...}`
`width`	number	`800`	Generated image width in pixels
`height`	number	`600`	Generated image height in pixels

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 20 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	HTML to Image calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	10	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	10,000	$3.00
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	50,000	$2.00
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	200,000	$1.50

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
